of_o the_o gospel_n a._n whatsoever_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a christian_n be_v already_o declare_v how_o they_o to_o prevent_v contention_n and_o strife_n do_v condescend_v to_o the_o weakness_n of_o many_o know_v that_o in_o time_n the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o fire_n will_v eat_v up_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n as_o the_o fire_n that_o come_v down_o upon_o elijah_n sacrifice_n do_v lick_v up_o 38._o all_o the_o water_n that_o be_v in_o the_o trench_n but_o whatsoever_o have_v be_v do_v in_o water-baptism_n since_o that_o time_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v be_v or_o be_v do_v with_o warrant_n from_o scripture_n but_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v be_v rather_o a_o part_n of_o that_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n which_o begin_v 7._o to_o work_v even_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o that_o baptism_n be_v come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n be_v never_o yet_o make_v good_a by_o scripture_n nor_o

now_o so_o far_o as_o the_o covenant_n be_v inward_a and_o respect_a his_o soul_n so_o far_o circumcision_n can_v not_o be_v a_o seal_n thereof_o for_o nothing_o can_v seal_v the_o true_a spiritual_a 30._o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o his_o soul_n but_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o all_o believer_n be_v and_o still_o be_v seal_v to_o the_o day_n of_o redemption_n but_o as_o the_o covenant_n

which_o god_n make_v with_o his_o people_n now_o be_v altogether_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a which_o be_v christ_n and_o there_o be_v no_o seal_n of_o this_o covenant_n but_o that_o spirit_n or_o

in_o the_o soul_n seal_v up_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o the_o same_o to_o all_o eternity_n argue_v much_o ignorance_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n and_o carnal_a mindedness_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n and_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o corinthian_n their_o father_n be_v baptize_v in_o 6._o the_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n that_o be_v no_o

be_v save_v by_o water_n and_o that_o by_o a_o figure_n baptism_n do_v not_o save_v we_o first_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o ark_n save_v those_o eight_o soul_n from_o the_o water_n and_o then_o that_o the_o figure_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o between_o the_o flood_n and_o water-baptism_n but_o between_o the_o ark_n which_o save_v they_o from_o those_o great_a wave_n and_o christ_n who_o save_v we_o from_o the_o sea_n even_o the_o red_a sea_n of_o god_n fierce_a wrath_n as_o they_o that_o do_v believe_v and_o obey_v and_o prepare_v a_o 7._o ark_n be_v put_v into_o it_o by_o

apostle_n baptism_n do_v now_o save_v we_o but_o not_o the_o wash_n away_o of_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n with_o water_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o god_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a if_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o if_o he_o raise_v not_o the_o soul_n from_o death_n that_o man_n be_v not_o baptize_v indeed_o though_o he_o be_v wash_v in_o water_n a_o thousand_o time_n and_o as_o for_o infant_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v baptize_v there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o intimation_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o while_o they_o be_v such_o ever_o be_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v baptize_v if_o water-baptism_n be_v any_o thing_n or_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o yet_o infant_n be_v in_o no_o capacity_n at_o all_o to_o apprehend_v it_o no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o signification_n yet_o they_o which_o make_v a_o prop_n of_o it_o to_o hold_v up_o their_o totter_a kingdom_n can_v see_v good_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o draw_v goodly_a consequence_n from_o scripture_n to_o help_v forward_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o q._n though_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o it_o as_o indeed_o there_o be_v not_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a sign_n may_v we_o not_o use_v it_o therefore_o in_o obedience_n to_o christ_n command_n as_o a_o sign_n of_o our_o engraft_v into_o he_o and_o as_o a_o ordinance_n that_o give_v we_o admission_n into_o curch-fellowship_n with_o the_o saint_n a._n the_o command_v of_o christ_n be_v not_o empty_a and_o barren_a command_n but_o full_a of_o power_n and_o efficacy_n when_o christ_n come_v forth_o in_o a_o command_n than_o there_o be_v a_o work_n wrought_v indeed_o if_o christ_n say_v to_o a_o dead_a man_n live_v then_o 14._o be_v he_o quicken_v indeed_o if_o he_o command_v a_o man_n to_o believe_v than_o there_o be_v faith_n and_o confidence_n wrought_v indeed_o if_o he_o command_v the_o saint_n to_o love_v one_o another_o than_o it_o be_v effect_v indeed_o christ_n command_n where_o they_o come_v and_o he_o himself_o come_v along_o in_o they_o or_o 12._o else_o they_o be_v not_o his_o command_n they_o never_o return_v in_o vain_a but_o do_v certain_o accomplish_v their_o work_n not_o in_o imagination_n but_o in_o reality_n and_o truth_n now_o if_o christ_n have_v command_v to_o baptise_v a_o man_n or_o a_o infant_n in_o water_n certain_o some_o notable_a work_n will_v have_v be_v wrought_v thereby_o but_o we_o see_v in_o experience_n that_o to_o dip_v or_o to_o sprinkle_v in_o or_o with_o a_o little_a cold_a water_n produce_v no_o effect_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n therefore_o to_o baptise_v with_o water_n as_o a_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o offer_v injury_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o make_v the_o command_n 63._o of_o christ_n which_o be_v full_a of_o power_n and_o life_n to_o be_v empty_a and_o fruitless_a command_n which_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o imagine_v moreover_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v a_o spiritual_a 21_o kingdom_n and_o be_v altogether_o inward_a and_o as_o it_o be_v not_o attain_v so_o neither_o be_v it_o enjoy_v with_o any_o outward_a observation_n indeed_o under_o the_o law_n they_o have_v their_o outward_a ordinance_n and_o service_n and_o all_o of_o they_o have_v their_o signification_n show_v forth_o something_o of_o christ_n of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o kingdom_n be_v more_o carnal_a 10._o than_o spiritual_a and_o they_o be_v lead_v on_o in_o it_o by_o outward_a and_o carnal_a observation_n but_o now_o christ_n have_v finish_v all_o his_o work_n in_o the_o
